EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Congo River near Kalubu: A Panoramic View of the 19th Century African Landscape, as Depicted in Henry M. Stanley's 'El Congo y la Creacion del Estado Independiente de este nombre'" 2. Caption: This panoramic engraving, titled "The Congo and the Founding of its Free State. A Story of Work and Exploration," presents a breathtaking view of the Congo River near Kalubu in the heart of Africa during the 19th century. The image, taken from Henry M. Stanley's published work, offers a unique perspective of the natural beauty and geographical features that characterized this region during a pivotal time in African history. The Congo River, one of the world's most significant waterways, meanders sinuously through the lush landscape, its winding course marked by the intricate patterns of its riverbed. The sinuous river is bordered by verdant vegetation, which blankets the land and provides a striking contrast to the towering mountains and rugged mountain ranges that rise majestically in the background. The panorama reveals the natural orography of the region, with the undulating terrain and the Congo River's meandering path creating a sense of harmony between the land and the water. The image also showcases the diverse population that inhabited the area, their settlements nestled along the riverbanks and amongst the verdant foliage. This engraving, created around 1890 in Barcelona, Spain, offers a fascinating glimpse into the geography and history of the Congo during the 19th century. It serves as a testament to the natural wonders and rich cultural heritage of Africa, a continent that continues to captivate and inspire exploration and discovery. 3.
